1988 Harley-Davidson FXSTS Springer Softail – First Year Classic, Fresh engine with just 61 miles on motor.
VIN: 1HD1BLL30JY023933
This is an absolute beauty of a classic—a first-year-production! If you know your Harley history, you know the ’88 Springer marked the triumphant return of the iconic front end, wrapped around a rock-solid Evolution motor. This particular bike has spent its entire life in the dry California desert, meaning the chrome is absolutely perfect with zero rust or pitting.
This motorcycle comes with documented, long-term ownership history and service records. The second owner purchased the bike on October 21, 1994, and has enjoyed it. Now selling due to health problems.
